The Rockery is a gorgeous self contained annexe in the centre of Ilminster, with off street parking and private entrance. Huge rain head shower and roof lights give a real wow factor! Fantastic comfortable base for exploring the West Country!

The annexe has recently been renovated, and includes a huge rain head shower in the bathroom, kitchenette area including kettle, toaster, fridge and Belfast sink (no cooking facilities). We provide a lovely continental breakfast; if you would prefer a cooked breakfast there is a lovely option at the end of the road (1 minute walk) - the Retreat ((website hidden)) open daily.
There is a comfortable armchair and sofa with flat screen tv (freeview) in the living room. The bedroom is lovely and light with a comfortable double bed and ample hanging space for your gladrags. We also have a supply of books and board games to keep you entertained on a rainy day!

Ilminster is a vibrant small market town (market is on Thursdays), conveniently located to explore the jurassic coastline (stretching from West Dorset to East Devon), many national trust properties (Barrington Court of "Wolf Hall" fame and Montecute House are both very close by), and the beautiful scenery of the Somerset Levels.
Being in the centre of Ilminster means you can wander down the road to your choice of restaurant, plus there are many wonderful gastropubs a short drive away (Katie and Simon can give you recommendations and their favourites!)
Ilminster is also a fantastic location if you are on your way further west to Devon or Cornwall, being just off the A303 or M5.

A peaceful 3 night stay in the most perfect little space. Katie & Simon have done an excellent job with their annexe, the finish is of a very high standard throughout, and they have put in a lot of detail where others might not, it really was like a home from home and we felt very comfortable. Katie was a great host, wasn't obtrusive, kindly stayed up to check us in when we arrived late and made clear that she was just a knock away if we needed anything. An info pack was left which gave recommendations of local places to see and eat (Which came in handy on a few occasions - certainly recommend Celandines!). The breakfast selection was great, with various different cereals/muesli, freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh milk (changed every day). On the whole, a lovely time had, and definitely a place to plan a future visit!

Nadeem2016-04-12T00:00:00Z

It's the little details that matter and Katie and Simon have really gone the extra mile as far as these are concerned. From the bottled fresh milk and freshly squeezed orange juice to complement our breakfast, to the most impeccably presented annex complete with modern and traditional features that combine to create such a welcoming and comfortable place to stay (including a spacious shower with giant shower head). We loved exploring the beautiful market town of Ilminster and Somerset surroundings, and this annex provided the perfect location from which to do so. If the weather is not so good there are two bookshelves packed with some great reads. Katie & Simon are right next door and on hand to answer any questions or make recommendations. We will definitely be returning.

Matthew2016-02-22T00:00:00Z

A great place to stay! A very comfortable bed, clean, a great shower and a lovely breakfast in the morning. Would definitely recommend.

Christine2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had a perfect two night stay over the bank holiday weekend at the annexe. Right from the beginning Katie was accommodating and hospitable, even asking what type of milk we'd prefer with breakfast. We arrived a little later than expected, but nonetheless were shown where everything was and was reassured if we needed anything she was just a knock away. The annexe is beautifully decorated and cosy, the care and attention to small details such as the jars of cereal, the toiletries left in the bathroom and the very comfy bed, really made this feel more like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again!

Bindi2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Had a great stay - location, accommodation and hosts really lovely. We have family locally and this was a perfect base for us. Having breakfast provided made morning v easy (even with a 14 month old) - thank you

Lucy2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Fantastic flat located right in the town centre. Katie and Simon were great hosts and made us feel very welcome with thoughtful touches and a great breakfast. Perfect for our trip and we would gladly stay here again in the future!

Sabrina2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Perfect

Katy2016-12-03T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay here, plenty of pubs around, easy access to the rest of Somerset. The accommodation itself was very homely and cosy, shower was great and the whole place was very clean. It was also nice and private with its own entrance which we liked. Thanks again!

Our newly decorated twin rooms are set in lovely Ilminster right next to the Minster.A medieval town in the heart of Somerset,with grand Manor Houses and fantastic Caves nearby,also very close to the Jurassic Coast and Devon and Cornwall. A minimum booking of 2 nights.Price advertised is for 1 room only.

Lynda and Carole were great hosts. They were both really friendly and welcoming and made my mum a special breakfast as it was her birthday. The room and bathroom were large, very comfortable and immaculately clean. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

Faye2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

I booked accommodation with Lyn on behalf of my colleagues. They were very pleased with Lyn's place, they said she was very accommodating & their stay was very comfortable. It's in a great location to where they were working. They have asked that I book again with Lyn next time they are in the area.

Lyn was a great host, the room is exactly as pictured and you've got everything you need in the pub. The town is on the doorstep, the food at the pub is great and it's great value for money. It's a cosy English B&B, not a 5 Star hotel, but it's brilliant value and we'll stay again if we're in the area.

single room with work table, bedside cabinet, wardrobe and four large under-the-bed drawers. The bed is 4'...so a large single. The kitchen and lounge are available if required. There is a parking space available. Caged animals are acceptable.

My house is within easy distance from the town of Ilminster. The dog and I are very friendly and love visitors. The house is in a really sunny position and the rooms are large with plenty of light. There are lots of lovely walks within a short distance from the house.

The unspoilt countryside, the local pub and shop/post office, the cycle path, the cider mills, the vegetarian cafe in Ilminster, cliff and beach walks on dorset/devon coast..

We love this place! It's also half way between family in Hampshire and friends in Cornwall, so ideally situated. Very easy to unwind, well equipped, and great having all the animals close by. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Elaine2016-11-01T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at Rosie's converted barn in Whitney. The barn is new, tidy and very comfortable. It was very close to Isslington, which was is a lovely village, with a super veggie restaurant. Would highly recommend and would be happy to stay here again.

Torin2016-06-12T00:00:00Z

What an amazing place couldn't fault a thing. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. Location was wonderfully rural and our toddler went bonkers for the animals that we were free to explore. Don't hesitate to book! Thanks Rosie!

D2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Rosie's place is lovely. It was just perfect for what we needed - it was amazing to look out on the green fields and enjoy the countryside. The house was comfortably furnished and great for what we needed. Would love to return and be able to explore the area further

Tracey2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Excellent property in rural retreat away from it all. Rosie is an excellent host who is friendly and welcoming. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did.

We had a great time at Rosie's cottage; it was even better than it looked on the photos and had everything that we needed. Lots of space, very comfortable and a lovely peaceful location - though still within walking distance of a pub which did excellent food! Rosie was very quick to respond to any queries we had but left us to our own devices the rest of the time. We especially enjoyed having the duck pond right outside our front door. We would recommend this to anyone and would love to go back.

This was a great stay. Nicola was very helpful, and an interesting person to talk to, of huge life experience and is a wealth of local knowledge, having written about the history of the area. The house is full of character, and I was made to feel very much at home. I could use the kitchen as I wanted, a huge bonus.

Deep in the heart of somerset, situated on a hill with amazing views and incredible history. The house is equally inspiring for both adults and children who love the secret staircases and general eccentricity. Perfect for relaxing in the idyllic, peaceful surroundings. 30 minutes from the coast, cooks optional.

Deep in the heart of Somerset the Court is a truly unique property.
Owned once by Beaverbrook and Tolstoy it is steeped in History.
Amazing views, beautiful walks, local cider farms, woods, 30 minutes from the beautiful Dorset coast line and the Famous HIX fish house and Lyme Regis.
Cooks and a Massuse can be booked separately to come to the house.
It's best to drive and have the option of a car as the house is remote....
People arriving on a train ..... Waterloo to Crewkerne station is the closest ( 10 minutes from the house ) make sure to PRE BOOK Ilminster taxis as not very many of them.
local golf course ( 1 mile away )

It's close to the market town of Ilminster a lovely place to do low key local shopping. A great famous butchers called Bonners and a charming high street. The lovely local town Crewkerne has some lovely antique shops.
As does Bridport which is my highlight about half an hour away .... with a brilliant Saturday market and fresh fish shops. I suggest a visit here in the morning and then a drive on for lunch at HIX Resturant in Lyme Regis.
A beautiful long 4 K walk from Charlton Bay to Seatown takes you across the 2nd highest cliff hill in Dorset ..called Golden Capp... Making for a very special invigorating day out.
There is a lots to do and a list can be sent upon booking.

The most incredible house - even better than the pictures. No complaints and even more there than described. So impressed.

Adam2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful, whimsical, magical place to stay - we absolutely loved our time there, and would love to return. The pictures do not do justice to the sense of calm and serenity there - sitting out the back with the owls hooting and wild meadow all around... Our week flashed past all too quickly, before we even had a chance to return to the cider farm where we spent a beautiful afternoon and brought back some welcome supplies. Alice was great in communicating, and when we were down there we were warmly welcomed by Allison, and Carl popped by to help when I was stumped by the simplest of technology and was wonderful company. Thank you!

R2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

An incredibly unique place to stay - absolutely stunning. Fantastic communication made the stay very easy. If only we had an excuse to come back again!

Cricket Court is fabulous, amazing house, very quirky, you can get lost inside! Stunning setting. Alison and Carl do a wonderful job. I know when you look at the pictures they don't look real, I can assure you they are! There were 5 of us and we had a very memorable weekend Adrian

Adrian2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time at Cricket Court the house was lovely and a great combination of scale and grandeur while also feeling relaxed and homely. Big thank you to Danny for waiting for us despite us being delayed 1.5 hours in traffic and even putting our online shop away for us! Didn't want to leave on Sunday and already trying to think up an excuse to go back.

Atherstone Farm Cottage is a beautiful and newly refurbished two bed thatched cottage in the tiny hamlet of Atherstone in Somerset, two miles from Ilminster.
Both bedrooms are ensuite, one with a bath and shower, the other a walk-in wetroom & shower. The property also has an eat-in kitchen, with a separate utility room, and a large stone-floored living and dining room.

The cottage is part of an old, but now largely disused, grade II listed farm courtyard that has been part of the Dillington Estate since at least 1725. With a stone floor, ancient beams and thatched roof it's the picture of a romantic country cottage, but now updated with a modern kitchen, bathrooms and entertainment system.

This is a truly great place to stay in the countryside. Quiet, relaxing, comfortable and spacious. Ideal for an adult break! Suitably located for trips in Somerset and neighbouring Devon. A hideaway we will return to. We would recommend a visit to The Boar at Barrington.

A beautiful cottage, out in the sticks, homely, quiet, cosy, great communication with the owner. Thanks again Ewan.

Danielle2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Everything as described. A really charming and cosy cottage!

Over 2 acres to run around in and enjoy the sights of the small holding with Chickens, Ducks and Pigs. Full kitchen facilities including gas BBQ, hotplates, kettle, toaster, fridge, freezer, all crockery etc, everything you need for a dog friendly relaxing break.

We had a lovely stay and the house fit well with our family of 5. Fiona was great a host she took the time to show us around her house before leaving us to our own devices. She left a comprehensive document outlining the mechanics of the house and its devices as well as places to visit. All in all very good
